Reloading a Single Processor on a Running Server
Using TACL RELOAD to Perform Reload
Run the RELOAD utility to reload the remaining processors after the first processor in a
system has been brought up, or to recover a processor that has failed.
The H-series RELOAD utility allows you to omit (or exclude) a slice from the reload
operation. This allows you get the processor running for the PEs on the other slices,
take a dump of the PE on the omitted slice, and then reintegrate it back into the
running processor. The OMITSLICE parameter allows you to specify the slice (A, B, or
C) to be excluded from the reload or, used without specifying a particular slice,
OMITSLICE selects a slice to be excluded.
1. Select File>Start Terminal Emulator.
2. From the menu, select For Startup TACL. Two OutsideView windows appear.
3. In the Enter Telnet IP Address box, type the IP address that is currently configured
for your primary service connection. If the processor for the primary service
connection IP address is down, type the IP address that is currently configured for
your backup service connection.
4. Click OK. The OutsideView window is active, and the TACL1> prompt appears.
5. Enter the super ID (255,255) and press Enter.
6. Type the password and press Enter.
A $SYSTEM STARTUP 1> prompt appears (the prompt depends on your defaults).
7. Use the RELOAD command as appropriate for your scenario.
run-option
is any of the options described in the RUN[D|V] Command, in the HP NonStop
TACL Reference Manual.
cpu-set
is a set of processors (and options) to be reloaded. Specify cpu-set as:
{ cpu-range } [, option, option, ... ]
{ ( cpu-range, cpu-range, ...) }
{ * }
cpu-range
is one of these:
cpu
cpu-cpu
Note. If you plan to dump the PE for one slice after reloading, use RELOAD with the
OMITSLICE parameter. If you don’t know which slice to specify, use OMITSLICE without
specifying A, B, or C. RELOAD will choose an appropriate slice, and reply with the letter of
the slice that was omitted. Use this to specify the slice in the RCVDUMP command.
